WASHINGTON (WNS) - President Ford's request for most favored nation trade treatment for Rumania has been approvedunanimously by the Senate Finance Committee. The followed approval in a House trade subcommittee by a 14-2 vote. The Congressional action came after government officials provided information that Rumania has eased its emigration restrictions on ' Jews and others. Jewish groups had complained that Rumania had this year tightened its formerly liberal emigration policy. The State Department said that Rumania has approved exit visas this year for 2000 Jews who want to go to Israel and 954 who plan to immigrate into the United States.
NEW YORK (WNS) -Russet Reiner, national coordinator of the Jewish Defense League, was. fined $1000 and put oh four years probation for threatening to kill Palestine Liberation Organization leader Yasir Arafat. Federal Judge Rochard Ownes, who also gave Kelner a one-year suspended jail sentence, said he was giving the JDL official the benefit of the doubt since he did not mean to carry out the threat. The threat was made at a press conference just prior to Arafat's United Nations appearance.
NEW YORK (WNS) - The National News Council has postponed ifepublic hearing on Mike Wallace's "GO Minutes" program dealing with Syrian Jewry until a new program on Syrian Jewry, now being prepared, is shown next month. The original program aired Feb. 16, and a corrected version shown June 8, resulted in criticism, from the American Jewish Congress and other Jewish organizations who charged it was slanted in favor of the official"Syrian government position, and failed to show the real plight of Syrian Jewry. Phil Baum, associate director of the AJCongress, said his organization asked the News Council to defer action on its complaint until the new broadcast was seen.
Jewish Leaders Condemn Resolution Adopted
n's Conference In Mexico City
JERUSALEM (JTA) - A resolution equating Zionism with colonialism and calling for the elimination of both which was adopted last week by the International Women's Year Conference in Mexico City was con¬ demned here and by Jewish leaders throughout the world. The Foreign Ministry, expressing disgust, described the resolution as "another chapter in the moral bankruptcy of the UN." Political circles here ex¬ pressed ., surprise that a conference called to discuss the advancement of womens' rights should condemn Zionism when Israel was the first country to introduce women's emancipation and voting ; rights in the Middle East.
The United States and ] Denmark joined I^Bael in voting against the resolution. Britain was among the abstainers, The resolution./'was : pushed through'the conference by the Arab states with the overwhelming support of the Third World countries,
China and the Soviet . Communist bloc. It was generally opposed by the Western powers. The con¬ ference, however, accepted an_ Egyptian proposal to adopt resolutions on a simple majority rather than the two-thirds majority nor¬ mally required. Without that change, the references to Zionism would have failed to gain sufficient votes for approval, according to reports from Mexico City. Mrs, Charlotte' Jacobson, president of the Conference of Jewish Organizations (COJO) and chairman of the American" Section of the World Zionist Organization, said in a statement issued in Geneva that the'resolution adopted in Mexico City
Jackson Amendment onsider Changes
WASHINGTON (JTA) - Sen.'Abraham Ribicoff, one of the leading co-sponsors pf. the Jackson Amendment, indicated Julys that he and other co-sponsors were prepared to consider changes in the measure if that would lead to an im¬ provement in U.S. - Soviet trade relations and an in¬ crease in emigration for Soviet Jews. The Con¬ necticut Democrat, one of a 17-man Senate delegation that returned from a visit to the Soviet Union July 7, also implied that the Jackson Amendment has not worked the way its supporters had hoped. "If a policy fails... I don't think'ybu should stick forever with it," Ribicoff told a press conference here. He added, however, that it appeared, from the Senate groups contacts with Soviet officials that the Russians now understand the strong Congressional interest and support for free emigration and that "Congress will not move until people can get out." Ribicoff said that another major co-sponsor of the Jackson Amendment, Sen. Jacob K. Javits
(R.NY), also favored some changes.
The Jackson - Vanik Amendment was in¬ corporated into the 1974 Trade Reform Act with overwhelming support in both houses of Congress. The measure was named for Sen. Henry M. Jackson (D. Wash.) its principal' author and advocate in the Senate and Rep. Charles A. Vanik (D. Ohio) author of an . identical measure in the House. The. amendment was strongly opposed by the
White House and Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger who argued that "quiet diplomacy" was more ef¬ fective means of achieving the free emigration aims of the amendment's sup¬ porters.-Adoption of the Jackson Amendment last year and a related measure authored by Sen. Adlai Stevenson (D. 111.) which put a $300 million ceiling on Export - Import Bank. credits to the Soviet Union was believed responsible for

Tisha R'Av
"■'■■■ i
The Ninth of Av, known as Tisha-be-Av is observed this year on July 17. The Fast Day has been observed since the beginning of the Second Temple period commemorating the destruction of the first and second temples, both on approximately this date. The Book of Lamentations is read after the Evening Service (and also in the Morning service according to certain rituals). Kinot (dirges) are recited after or during the Morning Service. These include compositions dealing with tragedies in later Jewish history. The fast resembles that of the Day of Atonement in its restrictions upon eating, drinking, anointing, etc. Av 9 is also traditionally the anniversary of the fall of Betar in 135 CE, the expulsion from Spain in 1492, and other national calamities.
"once again demonstrated the deliberate misrepresentation of Zionism. It is amazing that in a world where many people are striving to achieve national identify, Zionism is not seen as an example for others to follow. The fact that such a resolution could be adopted at the Mexico conference is ah indication of the hypocrisy and cynicism of the nations that voted for it or even abstained."
Also in Geneva,- Rabbi Israel Miller, chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations declared: "We applaud the stand of the United States of America at the. International Women's
Conference. America's stand upholds the principles of international justice and fair play. At the same time we express our pained surprise at the abstention of Western democratic rations with a tradition of liberal and humanitarian policies." In Buenos Aires, the Argentine Zionist Organization protested to Foreign Minister Alberto J. Vignes over Argentina's co- sponsorship of the Mexico City resolution identifying Zionism with neo colonialism and im¬ perialism.
